The Xbox One backwards compatibility feature is getting better especially as its list of game is continuously expanding.
Digital Spy noted that one of the best things about this new feature in the Microsoft gaming console is the possibility of playing any supported Xbox 360 games, which you previously purchased in disc or digital format, on Xbox One at no cost at all.

Therefore, if you want to re-visit your old games yet you no longer own an Xbox 360 console, you can still do so with your Xbox One.
Another highly-anticipated update in Xbox One backwards compatibility will be its capacity to directly download to it the 360 games that you are about to buy. This means that whether your 360 games have been with you even before or you are yet to make the purchase, your Xbox One can play them.
In the meantime, the tech site explained that with the Xbox 360 emulator built within it, it practically means that you still have it within your new gaming console - the Xbox One.
However, there are certain games that are not compatible with it yet.
As revealed by Xbox head Phil Spencer, their inclusion in the Xbox One backwards compatibility games list takes a long process.
"If you put out something and it's not running well, it will reflect negatively on the publisher," the executive said. "So we want to get approval from the third-parties before we release them."
He further narrated that, "Some of these games are big - you can imagine going through some of these games and making sure they run."
As of Feb. 29, there are 133 games covered by the Xbox One backwards compatibility feature. It was learned there are two new games added to the list each month.
